Alright in my town there 2 other car audio stores that sell and install car audio then there is a Rexs and Walmart that give a little bit of effort to it. So the manager of Rex came into my store last week and was checking on a custom box and telling me that they just sell crap and they are going to send everyone my way which is very cool. And the Other 2 stores that sell car audio also sell some home audio cheap stuff and Tvs and appliances. Well i went over to the one i get along with and its called Karls and i was talking to the manager and he asked me for alot of business cards and i was like alright what do u want them for and he said they just got rid of their installer and they dont want to install anymore so they are sending everyone my way and they are giving me a discount on some stuff if i want to get some from them. So now there is Team Electronics and Sinister Audio that install. im wearing down the competion. As of now i am the only place that people get along with and have always been the only place that will build a custom box or do any kind of custom work. its a good day today.

i get to have 2 dancing guys.

Awesome man. Should be getting some more customers it seems.

I found it funny how that one place is called Karls, and you have Carl as your avatar. I think that is worth a dancing guy

sounds killer......there will be a fine line between installing there stuff and maintaining a good relationship there and resisting the urge to upsell them on your equipment...... we have another car audio shop close to us and for years i bought from them so i am careful to never bash their eqipment, they dont sell junk just different brands than we do, or talk bad about them. they have a lot of years on us and they do nice work and have a huge following. all i do when people bring in a quote from them is try to get them more for there money...

good luck man sounds like a good deal to me.
